Including Feaster. Maybe especially Feaster.
I'll stand by that statement too, all season.

I am glad that Feaster didn't sign him. There would have been no fit here between Grabovski and the Flames. Picking him up for a 1 year deal would have been a waste of time and the best anyone could have hoped for in that situation is that he would have been good trade bait at the deadline.
Right now that may be Jagr's approach to signing contracts but Grabovski at 29 is probably thinking more about his career and trying to find a long term solution than to be a mercenary that signs 1 year deals and waits to be traded to a contender.
Besides, the last thing this team needs is more veterans clogging up roster spots and keeping the kids off the team. We already have enough trade bait for the deadline in Cammalleri, Stajan and Stempniak.
